June 24, 2022
We’re thrilled to announce that Align Technology—a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® system of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry—has made a US$250,000 donation to JA Worldwide in celebration of its 25th anniversary. The donation, which comes from the Align Foundation, a donor-advised charitable fund, commemorates Align’s 25th anniversary of pioneering technology innovations through a doctor-driven business model.
“Our 25th anniversary milestone is an opportunity to celebrate how Align has transformed orthodontics and enabled doctors to help more than 12.8 million people worldwide achieve healthy, beautiful smiles and change their lives,” said Julie Paulsen, Align Technology Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility. “As a global company and as individual employees, we believe in making a positive difference in the communities and are proud to support the important work of JA Worldwide to prepare young people for work and career readiness as they develop critical life skills. We look forward to working with JA to help build a brighter future for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.”
Align said its support for JA is a reflection of its philanthropic philosophy of supporting organizations whose visions tie closely to Align’s—improving smiles, supporting and educating teens, and empowering customers through partnerships with learning institutions and foundations.
